In the past, knowledge was contained in books. Nowadays, knowledge is uploaded to the internet. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

It is a fact, that in the modern world now the most useful

information

source is the Internet, rather than books, as it was years before. In my opinion,

is a positive influence, as it has

the Internet are not always verified, as there are many publishers who act for their own purposes. By mentioning

disaster on the

websites

, as people do not know exactly where is the truth and how to check it.

As a result

, non-verified

information

would make to buy something, as almost all articles have to sell.

For example

, if to google “how to choose the right car”, the Internet will definitely show the

of the car seller, who will promote their autos.

impact on the Internet as the source of the learnings, there are obviously more essential benefits of using mostly

websites

for the needed

information

. As they give the people always up to date data and there is no need in looking for it in a library or search in encyclopedias. The world changes so fast, so the people do not have

for searching the appropriate

information

needed right away in the books, rather than on the Internet.

For instance

, Wikipedia as the main source of

knowledge

now contains verified

information

and if it is not, it is a chance to see it. That means, that it is always quick, convenient and less

time

consuming, which is significant for the modern people. The other thing, which is a benefit is

the ease of finding the
